High Protein Vegan Lasagna Soup

This thick and hearty Lasagna Soup is packed with fiber plant based protein. Vegan and gluten free, is a comforting a satisfying meal in a bowl!

One pot meals are the best. Not only they save you time and a whole lot of cleaning up, but you pretty much get everything you need in one bowl. And during the colder months, nothing beats a bowl of warm, hearty soup. If it’s packed with nutrients, even better.

We’ve seen a lot of Lasagna Soup recipes floating around the internet lately. And although we’ve never tried it before, it looks so good, we had to give it a try. We wanted to boost its nutritional value to make it a balanced meal, so instead of using regular lasagna noodles, we added Explore Cuisine Green Lentil Lasagna Sheets.

Made with lentil, pea and brown rice flour, these noodles pack 11 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving. They’re also certified gluten free and made with all organic ingredients.

Instead of ground beef, for this Lasagna Soup we used Portabella mushrooms, which we chopped up very small, for their rich flavor and meaty consistency. We finished it up with a couple of tablespoons of cheese ( you can choose vegan or dairy), sprinkled over the top while the soup sis still hot, for melty gooey goodness.

Wanna make it spicy? Add a little (or a lot) of red pepper flakes

Wanna add a touch of freshness? Add a salad! This Lasagna Soup goes great with our Fennel, Blood Orange & Hazelnut Salad,

Roasted Cauliflower and Spiced Chickpea Salad, and our Warm Blood Orange, Avocado & Pistachio Salad.

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil oil

8oz portabella mushrooms, gills removed

6 sheets Explore Cuisine Organic Green Lentil Lasagne, broken into small pieces

12 tbsp shredded vegan mozzarella cheese, divided (you can also use regular cheese)

Instructions

Gently clean the dirt off the mushroom and chop them very small (you can use a food processor here). Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring often

Notes

The amount of water added depends on how you like the consistency of the soup. For a thicker, heartier soup, add less water.

Cheese will melt differently depending on the brand you’re using. If you’re doesn’t melt over the hot soup, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
